sucks if you got one before the upgrade.

It sucks not to buy refurb at this stage, mb C2D's have been available in refurb store for some time already.
It's not a new mb, just a minor upgrade while a new video board was expected for half a year

If you find this boring enough to yawn, why post it?

I'm holding out for the pro to have a new case redesign... when will that be?
I'm even thinking of switching to using mac all the time... need ot try out flash on it first... the new adobe interface is utter shite

err no.
it's utter shite right now, everything has to be better than now.

I use my first gen macbook for web work, with an external monitor and keyboard. Unlike the mb pro, it is too small itself to do any serious work on its LCD.
It could be faster, but I'm talking hard drive rather than video chip (even though I upgraded to an 7200rpm drive).
Video cards are overrated, I have an old 32mb matrox at work, drives two large monitors flawlessly. Unless you're going to do 3D, video board isn't crucial.Even if an upgrade is coming, you should be fine getting one of refurb mb pros, just make sure it is core 2 duo and NOT GLOSSY!!! ;)

Not worth buying. I bought a second hand one and it's good for client demostrations and when I do location photo shoots, not much else.
